Oh I understand that smell of the barn too well. You just brought back so many memories for me. I miss the feel of a horse and the smell of the barn and laying my head against the warm neck of my gelding. It has been years since I’ve gone riding, even longer since I used to do it every week.

I’m glad you’ve decided to paint for yourself. That’s a very good thing to do.

Rachey, good idea! It’s fun to read what your doing, and to hear other responses. I like the fact that your painting horses. I still haven’t framed any of the things you’ve done for me but I will one day. I’m also having fun with my watercolor classes. Autumn is wonderful. The colors here are spectacular. I’m taking lots of pictures. I never get tired of the view. LAP

I was in cooking/sewing 4H too! We made reversable aprons and I did do that awful fashion show. Once.

Hey Rachael – like the blog idea…nice to get inside your head a bit too! You’re so good at this – maybe its a marketing thing, but your asthetic rocks.

PS: I used to be in 4-H too, except I was in sewing and crafts. Every tuesday I trudged to a little mobile home about 2 miles from school. A blue-haired lady who always had the biggest behive this side of the Mississippi tried to teach me to sew an apron (your 4-H right of passage). Needless to say, sewing and I didn’t get along. I had to throw my dreams of being in the 4-H fashion show out the window……. Good thing I cook better than I sew.
Thanks for sharing your story. Too bad in live in CA, it would be cool to hang with you outside of the ‘well’.

Thanks Elaine. I know what you mean about setting the bar high; I have perfectionist tendencies too. It’s just that, I have a lot to say and if I don’t write it down it will just rattle around in my head forever and make me crazy.

And thanks for being my very first blog commenter EVER!

Just to let you know, someone is reading. I applaud the decision to blog. Everyone I talk to says, why don’t you, and I think it is the blank page staring at me that says, no. I read Pioneer Woman and a number of cooking blogs and say to myself, I can’t do that…other blogs, too and I think I set the standards so high for what I want to put on the page that I just tell myself no again. Anyway, here’s the sound of hands clapping not quite in the wilderness.
